Nice, finally it's running with all blocks downloaded.

I got a "block corruption error" at 98 % |o|.
It took 10 days on this machine at 24 / 7.

Now I need to backup this ....

Well, I did not expect it to be this bad, now I have 19366 blocks remaining...

But as I said, I'm not doing this for a wallet, I want a node for programming purposes.

I'm a bit worried though, this does not bode well for the future. I guess making this
process smother is not the most "fun" part do get involve with, but it is essential
if this whole bitcoin thing is to succeed...

No worries then, thanks for telling, I'm at 63 % now.

Sorry for being short ranochigo, I was in a bit of a hurry.

Thanks for the db-cache tip I'll try that. About the disk activity,
it's constantly busy, kind of, it pauses, short periods but that's
probably normal.

Does anyone know if 0.5% progress per hour is normal, when at 55% ?

Yea GB , and the CPU usage is at 3-10%, so that's not it.

It's not wallet usage I'm after, but programing against a node...
I would not create a wallet on a windows machine anyway

I'm at 55 %, 3 more days to go

I'm using an old phenom ll x4 955 with 4MB memory and win7.

Yes I was thinking it might be a hard drive issue, the OS is
on a SSD but node data is saved to an old disk.

But still, it should not stop as it did last time, right?

It's very slow right now, I'm at 50% and it it says 4 more days...

I have a 100/25 Mbit connection so that's not it.

It varies between 0.5% and 1,5 % per hour now.
I opened up my router this time to see if that helps.

I really wish there was an easier way to run a node.   

Thanks for your input, I will post the log if it stalls again.

I can't I started a new download |o|

The strange thing is, I'm at 40% and the download has slowed down to 0.7% an hour?

It will take another 3 days to download this, this can't be normal?

Maybe the same this will happen again, it just stops at 90%.

I don't know. 

Thanks for your reply,

This is on windows, no firewall, nothing changed.
I tried with renaming peers.dat banlist.dat and restarted
The new peers.dat which is created stays at 5KB while the old one is at 4MB.

Still stuck at the same block, I don't want to restart the download, it took almost a week

The debug.log file I can't understand well enough to make any of it, the last bit of look like

Hello,

I'm trying to run Bitcoin Core version v0.15.0.1 (64-bit) but the block download is stuck at 92%.

It says connecting to nodes in the status bar but nothing ever happens anymore.

Restarting increases the remaining block counter as it should, but that's it.

Any idea what to do?
